This event is in the past.
Actors Connection's NEW 2 Week Scene Study is an extraordinary opportunity to flex your Acting muscles!
In this online class, students will take all of their technique and harness it for performance. It is a 2-week workout where actors test their performance abilities in a safe and encouraging environment. This is a chance for the actor to "tune up" the tools in their tool belt and get their instrument working at 150%. Liz integrates a variety of exercises into the scene study format, as well as the perspective of an industry insider working with the actor to learn to take risks and make big, bold choices thereby giving the actor an opportunity to improve their craft while gaining performance experience.
Liz looks to bring each actor to an honest, instinctive place and wants the emotional life to be organic and the choices to be exciting and truthful. Through working on scenes of various genres, she will help you discover your strengths and weaknesses with the help of the trained eye of a producer, casting director, teacher and coach.
WEEK 1: You prepare sides from our library that best represents you to introduce yourself to Liz
WEEK 2: Liz assigns you news sides to work on
Class size is limited to 14 to ensure personalized attention and plenty of time with each actor.
